All grown up

I cannot believe that my little girl has completed her first week of preschool.  I mean technically it was only two days instead of three but we both survived.  I expected that being extremely pregnant I would be weepy and not want her to go but I was actually looking forward to being able to go grocery shopping all by myself.

What made it even easier was that Alexis was excited to go to school.  One of her friends is in her class so she knew someone right off the bat.  We went to school a little before check in to take pictures.  It was nice that Casey was able to make it since drop off is over his lunch.

The three hours she spent at school flew by.  Between grocery shopping and actually taking time to make myself lunch before I knew it I had to go get Alexis from school.  Pick up was pretty easy, she ran and gave me a hug and then realized that she had to leave and then she decided she didn't want to leave.  I guess it's better that she enjoys school and can't wait to go and doesn't want to leave, then her not wanting to go and throwing a tantrum and crying a screaming.  It was so hot last week the schools kept letting out early because most of the schools do not have a/c so on Wednesday she didn't have school but had it on friday.  Another easy drop off and then at pick up she insisted that she was going to stay at school for the night.

I am so happy she likes going to school and hope that continues as she gets older.  Here are some pictures of her first day.

Here is to a very good first year of school for my little girl who has grown up too fast.
